Words and Music: Irene Hartfield
With so many reasons
Why and why not
So many ways we could go
In a different place and time
We could say yes
We know that right now it is no
Maturity beckons
Inevitably
We know the end without any doubt
No more naiveté
No more pretend
We know just how things can turn out
Chorus:
So it’s SEPARATE BEDS, separate lives
So attracted but we know that it can never work
Say goodnight
Say goodbye
It can’t be a fling
So it can’t be anything
Hurt while it’s happening
Or hurt in the end
My choices are clear to me now
When I was much younger
I would jump for the chance
Now my head my heart won’t allow
CHORUS
Bridge:
I am learning to enjoy attractiveness
I am yearning but I’m destined to progress
So I’ll go to sleep now
But I’ll still regret
Not knowing you intimately
I wish things were different
I wish you were mine
But wishing’s not reality
CHORUS
